Yes, this is a major change and it hasn't even been mentioned before. What does 
it do, how does it do it, and why is it necessary? I don't know what you mean 
by "non-structural ports". Looking at your patch briefly, you may be 
reinventing functional accesses. Also, in the relatively near future I'm 
probably going to replace Translating and Virtual ports entirely with a 
combined version that will be shared between SE and FS modes. The distinction 
between those modes is on its way out, and it would be a bad idea to bake it 
into class names, let alone their functionality. Without a lot of strong 
justification I don't think this or it's follow on patches should be committed.
